■ Title   Effectiveness of floor area ratio system by structures for the reduction of fire-spreading risk

■ Outline   This article develops a method of spatial autocorrelation analysis in order to improve the understanding of tendencies of spatial autocorrelation and to make facile comparisons between different areas. This method extracts two main characteristics of spatial autocorrelation, i.e., the successive decrease tendency accompanying the increase in distance and the effect of direction, respectively, and quantitatively evaluates them with simple indices. Furthermore, the factor of distance, the major tendency of spatial autocorrelation, is formulized with the exponential function. An application of the developed method shows a good fit.   Yusuke Meshitsuka, Tohru Yoshikawa and Yoshitsugu Aoki   Collaboration   Journal of Architecture and Planning   Architectural Institute of Japan   (559),pp.227-232   2002/09
